[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet in Covid I was walked out door at start, kid in college. Three kids, oldest in college and stay at home mom wife and a mortgage,

Took me three years and two months to get back to old level of job. So shocked people can’t make it a two weeks.

Feds are allowed to work other jobs, why aren’t they working? Are they just sitting home? I was doing other jobs while out of work [/quote]

i'm not allowed to work another job unless cleared by ethics first. i'm not actually sure if those folks are working; and of course if they are, they are working  without pay and with no ability to seek other employment themselves.[/quote]

Bull shit. You can’t uber, taskrabbit, dog walking, baby sitting, door dash? [/quote]

My agency pre-approved dog walking before the shutdown. Everything else requires approval. 
Not a lot of dogs getting walked right now - we had a walker because I was in the office, and have had to cancel him during shutdown. But I'm supposed to try to steal his remaining business?

I could probably get approval to drive Uber, but Uber doesn't want me in my scruffy (but paid off) 2010 car. [/quote]

And getting approval would require having ethics and an HR department that hasn't been gutted by DOGE or furloughed. So near impossible to get approval for right now.[/quote]
